The co-founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX pleaded not guilty to a seven count indictment charging him with wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering.

An attorney for FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said in federal court Tuesday his client has to subsist on bread, water and peanut butter because the jail he's in isn't accommodating his vegan diet.

we need only read the thread to see that all of you brigading and concern trolling are in the minority. It’s a fact

One might consider the fact that until this very moment, my comments were consistently the most upvoted of the two of us. And that somehow on a two day old post all of your comments got upvoted three times, while mine were all downvoted three times. But hey, I'll just assume that that's a coincidence.

Either way, what matters is that most of the top comments are advocating for getting this guy a proper vegan selection. So clearly it's not so simply "a fact".

Also, did you seriously pull a comment from a discussion I was having with an entirely different person? Did you stalk my account for that? That's bizarre, but what's even more bizarre is that you think the quote "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" comes from a revenge movie lmao.

evil, anti-justice apologetics

It's literally just empathy - calling it "evil" sounds like projection to me. Especially when you're the one advocating for further harm, and trying to justify it with mob mentality.

you only care about what makes you personally feel better

Again, just projection. The only reason to punish people further is to make the rest of us feel better. Someone "getting what they deserve" is cathartic for the masses, and for no other reason than pure spite. It accomplishes nothing. What I believe doesn't make me feel better - how would it? It's far harder to be empathetic towards bad people than it is to simply view them as less than human and move on.

Imagine calling apologizing for, defending and using as a political tool to demand no one be punished for anything, denying humanity justice, empathy.

You absolutely are disgusting and vile. Get away from me.

Get away from me.

Are you 12?
